Friday, July 19

Headed out to Sydney Harbor early this morning for our sailing adventure. The rainy, windy weather added to the excitement. Ari and Justin were on my boat, and they did a wonderful job. Ari steered for much of the practice and race, and Justin was in charge of the main sail the whole time. Things got interesting when the wind picked up and the sail became parallel with the water, but we hung on and managed to get in some laughs.
Lauren and Justin were in my group at Sydney Sky Tower. Where Justin was a little more brave and willing to jump up and down on the glass, Lauren and I played it a little more safe. We all looked fantastic in our blue suits and harnesses though!
Matt and Jessie Smith (from Chicago) went with Angela and me to see the play Major Bang at the opera house this evening. What a great play performed by a New York company.
We're off to Manly Beach tomorrow. It could be a little brisk out there in our "togs," but we're staying optimistic.

three things:

1. You should breakout the blue suit again on the first day of school or open house. It might even surpass the palm green pants.

2. Manly Beach? Really? Awkward. There are so many things I could reference right now, but there just is not enough time.

3. Don't forget to check the if the water really does spin the other way in the toilet.
